QUICK ANSWER
Window screen cleaning in Temecula is included in every full inside-and-out window clean: each screen is removed, brushed dry, hand-washed, dried and reinstalled. Torn, sagging or sun-faded screens can be re-screened in their frames, including pet-resistant and solar screen upgrades. Clean screens stop dust from washing back onto clean glass.
Why Do Screens Get So Dirty in Temecula?
Screens act like air filters for your windows. Santa Ana winds, vineyard pollen and wildfire ash all catch in the mesh, and the next rain or sprinkler cycle washes that dirt straight back onto the glass.
| What clogs screens | When | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Santa Ana dust and grit | Fall–winter wind events | Gray film on glass after rain |
| Pollen | Spring and harvest (Aug–Sep) | Yellow-green haze, indoor allergy triggers |
| Wildfire ash | Fire season | Acidic gray residue, smells when wet |
| UV exposure | Year-round, ~276 sunny days | Brittle, faded mesh that tears easily |
| Pets | Year-round | Torn bottoms on sliding screen doors |

Screen Cleaning FAQ
Are screens included in window cleaning?
Yes. Every full inside-and-out clean includes removing, hand-washing, drying and reinstalling your window screens. Exterior-only visits rinse and wipe screens in place.
How do you clean window screens?
We remove each screen, brush off loose dust dry, wash both sides with a soft brush and mild soap, rinse, let it dry and reinstall it. Pressure washing is avoided because it can stretch or tear the mesh.
Can you repair torn window screens?
Yes. Torn, sagging or sun-faded mesh can be re-screened in the existing frame, and bent frames or missing clips can be replaced. [Editor: confirm the tenant offers re-screening and add pricing.]
What is pet-resistant screen?
Pet-resistant screen is a heavier vinyl-coated mesh that resists claws and paws. It is a good upgrade for sliding screen doors in homes with dogs or cats.
What is solar screen and does it help in Temecula?
Solar screen is a dense mesh that blocks a large share of the sun’s heat and glare before it reaches the glass. On west- and south-facing windows in Temecula’s hot summers it can make rooms noticeably cooler.
How often should screens be cleaned?
At least once a year with a full window cleaning, and after Santa Ana wind events or wildfire ash, which clog the mesh with fine dust.
